These albums by maestro Faith are very different and sound great on cd.Held Over is just instrumental and Leaving On A Jet Plane is all Vocal with Faith's mixed chrous.Faith used a light string contingment on Held Over and even lighter on Leaving On A Jet Plane.These albums are even more unique for another reason.They contain very different versions of the same songs.
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is instrumental on Held Over and done vocalley on Leaving On A Jet Plane.Easy Rider is instrumental on Raindrops but vocal on Leaving.Also Faith's version of Leaving On A Jet Plane is beautiful and got a lot of play on beautiful music stations in the 70's.I highley recommend this CD .- Amazon -
John Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween, Escape From New York, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998 collects 13 classic themes from Carpenter’s illustrious career together on one volume for the first time. Each theme has been newly recorded with the same collaborators that Carpenter worked with on his hit Lost Themes studio albums: his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies.
Excellent collection of the most iconic movie themes of the 20th century and beyond.
The Jazz Club series is an attractive addition to the Verve catalogue. With it's modern design and popular choice of repertoire, the Jazz Club is not only opened for Jazz fans, but for everyone that loves good music.
Movie Themes Go Disco! combines disco music and Seventies sci-fi movies and TV themes. The best are the tracks performed by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra ("Theme From King Kong"; and "Theme From Superman") and Meco ("Star Wars Theme / Cantina Band"; "The Empire Strikes Back (Medley)"; "Theme From The Black Hole"; "Love Theme From Star Trek"; and "Theme From Close Encounters". The songs are fun, blending danceable rhythms with lush strings that would make Nelson Riddle proud. It's no wonder that these songs make up more than half the length of the album.
